How do booking, payment and cancellation work?

All our services are subject to the general conditions of carriage and travel of Busvervoer Nederland (KNV), the Dutch coach industry association. Below is a brief summary of how booking, payment and cancellation work; the full text is on our General terms and conditions page.
Quote and booking
You request a quote with the details of your trip. We reply within a few working days with availability and a suitable price. Once you accept, the booking is confirmed.

The operator may ask for a deposit or the full fare in advance; unless otherwise agreed, this must be paid no later than 14 days before departure. An invoice is payable within 14 days of the invoice date, unless otherwise agreed.

Cancellations must be made in writing. Under the terms and conditions of Busvervoer Nederland, unless otherwise agreed, the following charges apply to a coach journey:
– up to the 22nd day before departure: 30% of the fare, with a minimum of €125

In addition, any costs already incurred are payable by you.
Changes and extra costs
If you would like to stay longer or take a different route during the trip, there may be extra charges for the additional miles or hours. Unforeseen traffic situations such as traffic jams can also lead to extra costs if they make the journey take longer.
